Helsinki

To Manner, Chairman of the Government
and to Karl Wink.

[February 6 (January 24) 1918]

It is necessary to send more frequently and in greater detail radio broadcasts in Swedish and telegrams to Sweden on behalf of the unions of Swedish workers in Finland for the purpose of refuting the extremely false reports of the Swedish bourgeois press concerning events in Finland. I request that you inform me whether you are taking all measures.

Lenin.
